Journal ArticleDOI

The uremic toxin 3-indoxyl sulfate is a potent endogenous agonist for the human aryl hydrocarbon receptor.

TL;DR: Indoxyl 3-sulfate represents the first identified relatively high potency endogenous AHR ligand that plays a key role in human disease progression and may contribute to toxicity observed in kidney dialysis patients and thus represent a possible therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-cancer drug discovery and development: Bcl-2 family small molecule inhibitors.

TL;DR: The current status of Bcl-2 family SMIs in preclinical and clinical development is discussed, and Mcl-1-specific inhibitors are expected to be efficacious both in combination/sequential treatments and as a single agent against cancers resistant to ABT-263.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atg5-dependent autophagy contributes to the development of acute myeloid leukemia in an MLL-AF9-driven mouse model.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Atg5-dependent autophagy may contribute to the development but not chemotherapy sensitivity of murine AML induced by MLL-AF9, and was found to be involved in the survival of differentiated myeloid cells originating from MLL -AF9-driven LSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maritoclax induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells with elevated Mcl-1 expression

TL;DR: Maritoclax belongs to a novel class of Mcl-1 inhibitors that has the potential to be developed for the treatment of AML, and was more effective than daunorubicin at inducing leukemic cell death when co-cultured with HS-5 bone marrow stroma cells, while being less toxic against HS- 5 stroma Cells.
